I have real issues with the GAL aspect and always have. I'm just not into much. And now if she's not coming over on Sundays, it really doesn't matter. I can be at home - just the way I like.
The reason I said "I didn't say you couldn't come over" was to make it clear that it was her choice/reaction to my request to take the dog.
I'm sure she sees this as punishing me - since you won't look after my dog, you don't get to see me. I won't be your friend if you don't do what I want.
Rob - you said so much time has passed. I think too much has passed to ever save my marriage for real. I simply made too many mistakes. I would "man up" once in a while, but always slide back into being the nice guy as soon as she showed any affection for me. Or being even more honest - as soon as there was any sex or hint of it.
